Bswift to add 100 jobs downtown in next 3 years

A company that provides software for employee-benefits administration plans to add 100 downtown jobs in the next three years, the city announced.

The firm, Bswift, plans to add 50 of those jobs this year, City Hall said in a statement. The company currently has 165 employees, so the 100 new hires will represent about a 61 percent increase in its workforce. The jobs will mainly be in technology, client services and project management, the statement said.

"Chicago is a trifecta hub for us — it's a place where technology, insurance and health care businesses intersect," CEO Rich Gallun said in the city's statement.
